Whatever Manny does after this fight he earned it in the ring no doubt. Is that enough to buy the PPV ? Not really yet I can understand why people will do just that, the Pac-Man has a loyal following that he got inside the ring not outside the ropes. It would be nice to see Manny sitting in the White House one day talking to the president of the U.S.A. got to love that picture if it happens.

Hope Saul wins his fight with Plant does numbers that take him away from Eddie and DAZN for good. It would be better that way, Saul got all the tune up fights post-pandemic and Eddie got his numbers and excuses for no fights on the callender bc "until Saul decides to fight......" for that reason I hope he gets his PPV numbers and moves on force Eddie to find another fighter or two to sell to his subs.

Some good fights coming up. Thankfully Pacquiao's end has come, hopefully he's leaving boxing with his health still intact. Now we just need Fury to get past Wilder asap and then onto Joshua.

I've never been able to make sense of the Dazn business model after they threw around so much money at the beginning. I imagine their balance sheet is interesting!

They received a lot of stick from the 'old establishment' [inevitably] however surely Arum et al couldn't have dreamed it would have transpired the way it has. For all the bluster and 'game changed' rhetoric, their Matchroom US schedule this year has been way below par. Unfortunately nobody who's in a position to be able to is prepared to ask Hearn/Markowski the questions us fans would like answers to. I get this - people have bills to pay. But nonetheless its a shame.
